Where: The park
When: 10 am, March 3rd
Style: I'll follow, starting in aaaaaaction
Status: Closed

[Zelda isn't entirely sure what she wants to say to Izaya, but she knows that she has to say something. At the very least, she wants to ascertain his intentions towards her. She arrives at the park at 9:30 and sits down on a bench, waiting in silence.]

I figured you did. But hey. I have a soft spot for blond men. Can't help but comment, right?

[Granted, he only has a soft spot for one blond man in particular but he's not going to get into that right now.

Oh Zelda. Never think that you could actually have fun with Izaya. Not when he's happy. That's just very dangerous territory.

Izaya's back to his usual self and that's not good news for anyone.]

Absolutely they do.

[Izaya's smirk is lazy because he knows that Zelda is aware of something amiss. He likes that.]

So do social connections. People are pretty vulnerable creatures overall. They make themselves be. The more you gain, the more you have to lose, so they say.

[Her smile becomes somewhat genuine at that.]

It's true. I didn't really have anything to lose when I first came to Vatheon. But now... there's a lot to lose, isn't there? For both of us.

[Zelda finally seems to be back to herself as she leans towards Izaya slightly. Though the words could be interpreted as a threat, she really does only mean them at face value.]

You seem happy today. I hope both of you are happy, I really do.

Both of us? Heh.

[He won't say anything on that but he looks away from Zelda and off into the city.

Even if they did sound like a threat, Izaya knows enough that Zelda wouldn't intentionally hurt Shizuo. She isn't that kind of person and that's his prediction.]

I think he's happy. I think he's finally happy with me anyway.

[His smile fades but he sounds....sincere. Happy. Hopeful.]

And how could I not be happy?

[This was seven years in the making. He doesn't say more on the topic though but instead beams another effortless smile at Zelda.

He has virtually no guilt over Sola. Not in the slightest.]

Well Zelda, if that was all...

Yes, that covers it for the most part. I won't keep you.

[She gives him another long, careful look before raising her hand in a wave. Izaya smiles too easily after all of this. She can forgive him, but she won't forget this - not by a long shot.

But even still, after all that's happened...

Zelda presses a kiss to her fingertips, then taps Izaya on the forehead where he kissed her before.]

And Izaya... I still don't believe that you're a monster.

Is that right, princess?

[His tone is quiet and mostly blank, his eyes opened wide and his mouth in a straight line.

But then they twitch back up into...something that might of resembled a smile?

It's impossible to tell.]

You're one of those prophet types, aren't you? Like Minato and Jacob.

Pro...

[She actually looks startled. How the hell did Izaya know that she had visions?]

...yes, I am. I don't have visions here, but I do at home. There is a prophet "type"? Fascinating.

Oh, you have visions? How fascinating!

[Ha. No he totally didn't but you walked right into that one, didn't you?

He knows now.]

Yeah, you know. They're kinda quiet and observant. [Not like him, obviously.] They have this thing where they think that everyone has something good inside of them. They're kinda like Jesus figures except for more annoying.

All three of you are kind of the same in certain respects. You all seem to have similar views on me, especially.

Like Jesus except more annoying? You're such a flatterer.

[To be fair, her only experience with Jesus is talking to Ky, and he is REALLY annoying.]

Everyone has the capacity for good and evil inside them. That's just how it is. The fact that you seem to have a different moral compass than I do doesn't make you monstrous at all.
